Deuteronomy 24
1 Should a man marry a woman, but then isn't pleased with her because he finds out something shameful about her, he is allowed to write out a certificate of divorce for her, give it to her, and send her out of his house.
si acceperit homo uxorem et habuerit eam et non invenerit gratiam ante oculos eius propter aliquam foeditatem scribet libellum repudii et dabit in manu illius et dimittet eam de domo sua
2 Suppose that after leaving his house, she goes marries another man,
cumque egressa alterum maritum duxerit
3 and suppose the second man also ends up hating her, writes out a certificate of divorce for her, gives it to her, and sends her out of his house—or he may happen to die.
et ille quoque oderit eam dederitque ei libellum repudii et dimiserit de domo sua vel certe mortuus fuerit
4 The first husband who divorced her is not permitted to marry her again after she was shamed, for that offends the Lord. You are not bring guilt upon the land that the Lord your God is giving you to own.
non poterit prior maritus recipere eam in uxorem quia polluta est et abominabilis facta est coram Domino ne peccare facias terram tuam quam Dominus Deus tuus tibi tradiderit possidendam
5 If a man has just got married, he is not to be sent to war or made to do any other duties. He is free to stay at home for one year and make his wife happy.
cum acceperit homo nuper uxorem non procedet ad bellum nec ei quippiam necessitatis iniungetur publicae sed vacabit absque culpa domui suae ut uno anno laetetur cum uxore sua
6 Don't accept a pair of millstones, or even just an upper millstone, as security for a debt, because that would put the borrower's life in danger.
non accipies loco pignoris inferiorem et superiorem molam quia animam suam adposuit tibi
7 Anyone caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite must be executed, whether the kidnapper makes him a slave or sells him. You must eliminate the evil from among you.
si deprehensus fuerit homo sollicitans fratrem suum de filiis Israhel et vendito eo accipiens pretium interficietur et auferes malum de medio tui
8 When it comes to infectious skin diseases, make sure you follow carefully all the instructions of the Levitical priests. Be careful to follow the orders I've given them.
observa diligenter ne incurras in plagam leprae sed facies quaecumque docuerint te sacerdotes levitici generis iuxta id quod praecepi eis et imple sollicite
9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the journey out of Egypt.
mementote quae fecerit Dominus Deus vester Mariae in via cum egrederemini de Aegypto
10 If you lend anything to someone, don't go into their house to take some kind of security.
cum repetes a proximo tuo rem aliquam quam debet tibi non ingredieris domum eius ut pignus auferas
11 Stand outside while they go inside and bring the security out to you.
sed stabis foris et ille tibi proferet quod habuerit
12 If he is a poor man he may give his cloak as security, but you must not keep it when you go to sleep.
sin autem pauper est non pernoctabit apud te pignus
13 Make sure you give it back by sunset, so that he can sleep in his own cloak and thank you, and you will be counted as doing good by the Lord your God.
sed statim reddes ei ante solis occasum ut dormiens in vestimento suo benedicat tibi et habeas iustitiam coram Domino Deo tuo
14 Don't mistreat a paid servant who is poor and needy, whether he's an Israelite or a foreigner living in one of your towns.
non negabis mercedem indigentis et pauperis fratris tui sive advenae qui tecum moratur in terra et intra portas tuas est
15 Pay his wages every day before sunset, because he is poor and is relying on them. If you don't he may complain to the Lord about you, and you will be found guilty of sin.
sed eadem die reddes ei pretium laboris sui ante solis occasum quia pauper est et ex eo sustentat animam suam ne clamet contra te ad Dominum et reputetur tibi in peccatum
16 Fathers are not to be executed because of their children, and children are not to be executed because of their fathers. Each person is to be executed because of their own sin.
non occidentur patres pro filiis nec filii pro patribus sed unusquisque pro suo peccato morietur
17 Don't treat foreigners or orphans unjustly; don't take a widow's cloak as security.
non pervertes iudicium advenae et pupilli nec auferes pignoris loco viduae vestimentum
18 Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt, and the Lord your God rescued you from that place. That's why I'm ordering you to do this.
memento quod servieris in Aegypto et eruerit te Dominus Deus tuus inde idcirco praecipio tibi ut facias hanc rem
19 If when you're harvesting in your field you forget a sheaf there, don't go back for it. Leave it for the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, so that the Lord your God may bless you in everything you do.
quando messueris segetem in agro tuo et oblitus manipulum reliqueris non reverteris ut tollas eum sed advenam et pupillum et viduam auferre patieris ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in omni opere manuum tuarum
20 When you shake the olive trees to knock down the olives, don't go over the branches again. What's left is for the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows.
si fruges colliges olivarum quicquid remanserit in arboribus non reverteris ut colligas sed relinques advenae pupillo ac viduae
21 When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, don't go over the vines again. What's left is for the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows.
si vindemiaveris vineam tuam non colliges remanentes racemos sed cedent in usus advenae pupilli ac viduae
22 Remember you were once slaves in Egypt. That's why I'm ordering you to do this.
memento quod et tu servieris in Aegypto et idcirco praecipiam tibi ut facias hanc rem
